Seventeen internet firms have agreed to take steps to protect European children from online abuse on social networking websites. Websites such as Facebook and MySpace will add a ‘Report Abuse’ button on profiles of their uses under the age of 18 and also their profiles and contact lists will be set to ‘private’.

Why would’nt they do this for ALL of their users under the age of 18? Makes you wonder if these companies have been forced into being responsible by the EU.
